King Hung Vuong VI had a beautiful daughter. He did not want her to marry just any prince. So, he made an announcement that he was looking for the right husband for her. Many princes came from faraway lands, but none of them was a good match for the princess.
Son Tinh was the Spirit of the Mountain, and Thuy Tinh was the Spirit of the Waters. One day, they both appeared as young noblemen and asked to marry the princess. They were equally talented, powerful, and respected. The King found it hard to choose, so he decided to give them a test. He said that the one who brought the proper wedding gifts first the next morning would marry his daughter.
The next day, Son Tinh arrived early with his gifts. The King kept his promise and gave the princess to him. Thuy Tinh was angry about losing. He challenged Son Tinh to fight for the princess. But Son Tinh refused, believing he had already won fairly. Furious, Thuy Tinh used his power to call the rivers and streams to rise. Soon, the land was covered with floods that destroyed crops and homes.
Son Tinh stayed calm in his mountain palace. Whenever the water rose, he made his mountains higher. After many days of fighting, Thuy Tinh grew tired and ordered the waters to retreat.

Malin’s Big City Life: A Modern Tale
Malin had always dreamed of leaving his small coastal village. After graduating from high school, he moved to Jakarta with hopes of building a better life. He worked part-time jobs during the day and studied digital marketing at night. It wasn’t easy, but he slowly gained skills, built a client list, and eventually launched a successful online clothing brand.
Within four years, Malin’s name became known among young entrepreneurs. He started attending influencer events, sharing productivity tips, and talking about “humble beginnings”—though he rarely mentioned where he came from. At some point, he stopped returning his mother’s calls. He thought she wouldn’t understand his lifestyle now: brand deals, curated social media posts, and talk shows.
One day, Malin was invited to speak at a business seminar, streamed live across Indonesia. In the audience was a quiet woman in a simple kebaya—his mother, who had taken the long trip to Jakarta without telling him. She waited outside the venue, holding a basket of banana chips she used to make for him when he was little.
When she finally approached him near the stage, Malin stepped back. Cameras were everywhere, and the last thing he wanted was to be seen with someone who didn’t match the image he had built. He gave her a quick nod and turned away, pretending not to recognize her.
Later that night, a short video went viral: a young CEO ignoring an old woman who claimed to be his mother. Comments exploded with criticism, and people began to question the authenticity of his “humble” background. Sponsorships were paused. Interview requests stopped coming. Alone in his apartment, Malin stared at the screen—his face frozen in the moment he turned away.
11. What is the main message of the story?
A. Staying true to your goals is more important than pleasing others
B. Sometimes, ambition can push you to make difficult personal choices

A Whole New Jupiter: First Science Results from NASA’s Juno Mission
Juno was launched on August 5, 2011, and entered Jupiter’s orbit on July 4, 2016. The findings from the first data-collection pass—which flew within about 2,600 miles (4,200 kilometers) of Jupiter’s swirling cloud tops on August 27—are being published this week in two papers in the journal Science, as well as 44 papers in Geophysical Research Letters.
“We knew going in that Jupiter would throw us some curves,” said Scott Bolton, Juno’s principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “But now that we are here, we are finding that Jupiter can throw the heat, as well as knuckleballs and sliders. There is so much going on here that we didn’t expect, that we have had to take a step back and begin to rethink this as a whole new Jupiter.”
Among the findings that challenge previous assumptions are those provided by Juno’s imager, JunoCam. The images show that both of Jupiter’s poles are covered in Earth-sized swirling storms that are densely clustered and rubbing together.
“We’re puzzled as to how they could be formed, how stable the configuration is, and why Jupiter’s north pole doesn’t look like the south pole,” said Bolton. “We’re questioning whether this is a dynamic system—are we seeing just one stage, and over the next year we’re going to watch it disappear—or is this a stable configuration where these storms are circulating around one another?”
Another surprise comes from Juno’s Microwave Radiometer (MWR), which samples the thermal microwave radiation from Jupiter’s atmosphere—from the top of the ammonia clouds to deep within the planet. The MWR data indicates that Jupiter’s iconic belts and zones are mysterious: the belt near the equator penetrates all the way down, while the belts and zones at other latitudes seem to evolve into different structures. The data also suggests that ammonia is quite variable and continues to increase as far down as the MWR can detect—several hundred miles or kilometers beneath the surface.
Prior to the Juno mission, it was known that Jupiter had the most intense magnetic field in the solar system. Measurements from Juno’s Magnetometer Investigation (MAG) indicate that Jupiter’s magnetic field is even stronger than expected and more irregular in shape. MAG data shows the magnetic field greatly exceeded predictions at 7.766 gauss—about ten times stronger than the strongest magnetic field found on Earth.
“Juno is giving us a view of the magnetic field close to Jupiter that we’ve never had before,” said Jack Connerney, Juno’s deputy principal investigator and the lead for the mission’s magnetic field investigation at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Already, we see that the magnetic field looks lumpy—it is stronger in some places and weaker in others. This uneven distribution suggests that the field might be generated by dynamo action closer to the surface, above the layer of metallic hydrogen. Every flyby we execute gets us closer to determining where and how Jupiter’s dynamo works.”
Juno is also designed to study the polar magnetosphere and the origin of Jupiter’s powerful auroras—its northern and southern lights. These auroral emissions are caused by particles that gain energy and slam into atmospheric molecules. Juno’s initial observations indicate that this process works differently at Jupiter than it does on Earth.

The idea of transforming our economies and societies must have equity or justice at its center as the transition from the current unsustainable patterns of production and consumption to a more sustainable system is bound to have winners and losers. Advocates of climate justice take a human rights approach to sharing the costs and benefits of adjusting to climate change. By contrast, energy justice usually focuses on access to energy as a human right. And environmental justice emphasizes the agency of people and seeks to involve them in environmental decision making.
All three approaches touch on the political economy of a transition to more sustainable economies and societies. Any just transition will be a delicate balancing act. The concept of a just transition is not merely a technical process of moving from a fossil fuel–based to a low-carbon system, it is a political process. The status quo is not only disrupting planetary processes but also perpetuating inequalities. With this in mind, green innovation alone would not suffice to make the transition happen in the first place or to ensure that it is just. A just transition would require creating political coalitions among social and environmental movements, minority groups, labor unions, people employed in the energy sectors and engaged local communities.
[1] In a way, the idea of a just transition gets to the core of sustainability. [2] The aspiration of a transition to a just and sustainable human environment has been discussed since at least the mid-1980s. [3] Rather than a fixed state we are aiming to reach, sustainability can be seen as a process of debate and inclusive deliberation. [4] This view of sustainability as a process of exploring social, technological and environmental pathways recognizes that different stakeholders view sustainability in different ways and have diverging narratives about what is or is not sustainable. [5] This implies the need to identify, in each case, the actors, their framing of the situation and their emphasis. [6] This socially complex view of sustainability also implies that governments are not the only policy agents and that there is an important role for citizen engagement and mobilization, protest and coalition building.

21. What can we conclude from the text?
A. The most important point of a just transition is that all stakeholders involved agree that no matter what it takes, there should be a shift from fossil-fuel based energy to cleaner, low-carbon alternatives.
B. Human needs must set the direction for a just transition to occur. Sustainability won’t be achieved if human rights, the utmost priority, are not taken into the equation.
C. Just transition is essential to sustainability. A just transition revolves around the idea that not only environmental concerns, but also social concerns, are relevant to sustainability.
D. Governments as the authorities should not be the only ones defining what a just transition is. Rather, every stakeholder affected by environmental concerns should also help.
E. Transition to a low-carbon society can perpetuate inequality if we are not careful. Therefore, each of us should fight to be heard in achieving environmental sustainability.
Kunci Jawaban: C

About 17 persen of global food production may go wasted, according to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Food Waste Index Report 2021, with 61 persen of this waste coming from households, 26 persen from food services, and 13% from retail. Food waste burdens waste management systems, increases food insecurity, and is a major contributor to the global problems of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The Food Waste Index is the first of its kind to highlight the scale of the problem. Indeed, it suggests that global food waste could be more than twice the size of earlier estimates. Previous studies indicated that consumer food waste was exclusively a problem in developed countries, with production, storage, and transportation losses thought to be particular issues in the developing world. However, the report found that household food waste per capita is similar across high-income, upper middle-income, and lower middle-income countries. There was insufficient data on low-income ones.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 690 million people went hungry in 2019, with these figures likely to rise post-COVID. With food insecurity affecting so many people across the world, the World Economic Forum’s Incentivizing Food Systems Transformation report argues that a transformation of the food sector is required to establish sustainable, nutritious, and healthy food systems.
It estimates that food loss and waste costs the global economy $936 billion a year, with between 8-10% of global carbon emissions linked to unconsumed produce. Overall, food systems cost society $12 trillion dollars in health, economic and environmental costs – which is 20% more than the market value of food systems. The report outlines how food systems transformation can be incentivized, including by repurposing public investment and policies; redesigning business models; getting investors to set higher standards for companies; and encouraging consumers to shift demand to more socially-responsible products.
25. The main purpose of the passage is to ....
A. highlight the importance of changing the habits among consumers to bring down food waste
B. bring awareness to the substantial environmental, social, and economic impact of food waste
C. indicate that households and businesses are major contributors to food loss and waste problems
D. propose realistic solutions to decrease waste from the food industry while being economically viable
E. encourage countries to shift towards sustainable, nutritious, and healthy food systems
Kunci Jawaban: B
26. According to the passage, all of the following are correct, except ....
A. While it has often been believed that food waste is more of a problem in wealthier countries, the problem is also prevalent in developing nations too.
B. Households are the largest food waste producing sector, however, they are not the only part of the system that is responsible for the waste.
C. Global food waste is a far-reaching problem with tremendous financial, ethical, and environmental costs.
D. If we want to get serious about tackling climate change, citizens around the world play a key role in reducing food waste.
E. In the developing part of the world, food waste is often due to technical limitations during the production process.
Kunci Jawaban: D
27. The passage states that while food waste is a global issue that affects the entire world, in the more developed countries, food waste occurs due to ….
A. consumer behavior

30. SARS-CoV-2. Monkeypox. Polio. Marburg. These viruses are no longer familiar just to public-health experts, but household names around the world, thanks to their recent incursions into human populations. People have always confronted pathogens of all sorts, but the attacks are becoming more commonplace and more intense than they ever have before.
The world has seen polio outbreaks before, for instance, as well as monkeypox clusters and cases of Marburg, a cousin of the deadly Ebola virus. We’ve even seen earlier versions of SARS-CoV-2 in the coronavirus outbreaks of 2002 and 2012. So why are these outbreaks piling up, seemingly all of sudden, and at the same time?
The explanation lies in a gathering perfect storm of factors that taps into nearly every way we live our contemporary lives—from the ubiquity of worldwide travel to humans’ deeper encroachment into previously untouched natural habitats and the modernization that has led to climate change, urbanization, and overcrowding. Even the instantaneous and unfiltered way we communicate on social media is contributing, since misinformation is often shared, believed, and elevated to the same degree as trustworthy messages. Then, there is the mercurial and increasingly unstable balance of geopolitics driving millions from their homes and into refugee camps and migrant housing, which are fertile grounds for infectious diseases to spread.
Simply put, the multitude of infectious diseases facing the world today is “just the evolution of microbes and humans coming to a collision course,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Responding quickly and effectively will have to become routine if we are to weather the onslaught of outbreaks sure to head our way. “Microbial evolution is alive and well,” says Osterholm. “We are fighting an enemy that is growing and changing every day to accommodate as the world changes.”

Exploring Bali's Natural Wonders
Bali, a beautiful island in Indonesia, is known for its stunning landscapes and rich culture. While many come for the beaches and temples, the island also offers natural attractions that amaze nature lovers from around the world. From national parks and waterfalls to terraced rice fields, Bali is full of natural beauty.
In the west lies West Bali National Park, a peaceful area filled with green forests, calm mangrove swamps, and colorful coral reefs along the sea. The air is fresh, and the scenery feels untouched. One of the park’s most special sights is the Bali Starling—a rare white bird with bright blue around its eyes. Its soft song adds magic to the quiet forest. Visitors can walk along clear paths and enjoy the rich variety of plants and animals in this protected area.
Heading north, travelers find the scenic Munduk Waterfall, surrounded by green hills and forests. Water flows gently over rocky cliffs into a cool clear pool. Mist rises into the air, mixing with the calming sound of falling water. The walk to the waterfall passes through narrow paths lined with coffee and clove trees. Their fresh scent fills the air, offering a pleasant and peaceful experience. Munduk is the perfect place to relax and enjoy Bali’s natural charm.
Near the cultural center Ubud, the famous Tegalalang rice terraces stretch across the hills in green steps. These terraces are shaped by generations of farmers who work the land by hand. In the morning, mist rises above the fields, and sunlight reflects off the water in the paddies. Farmers in wide-brimmed hats plant rice carefully, their feet sinking into the soft earth. Water flows gently through small canals, keeping the fields healthy and green. The quiet surroundings and slow rhythm of farm life create a peaceful and inspiring scene.
These natural wonders highlight Bali's dedication in preserving its environmental and cultural treasures.

My Experience as an Intern at a Sports Club
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at a local sports club. It was my first time working in a professional sports environment, and I was both nervous and excited. The internship went through a few phases, starting from orientation until finally jumping in to help during practices and games.
On my first day, I met the head coach, who welcomed me and explained my tasks. I had to set up cones for drills, bring water for the players, and check the training schedules. The first few days were challenging because I was not used to the morning routine. Every morning I had to wake up early, arrive on time, and follow instructions carefully. I worried about making mistakes, but the coaches were kind and guided me.
In the second month of my internship, I was trained to handle emergency situations. I got the chance to put that knowledge into practice when something unexpected happened. During football practice, a player fell and hurt his ankle. Everyone stopped, and I quickly ran to get the first aid kit. I helped the coach assess the injury and ensured the player stayed calm while we got him seated safely. Luckily, it wasn’t serious, but the experience reinforced an important lesson: staying alert and prepared during emergencies can make a big difference.
At the end of my internship, the coaches held an evaluation and reflection session where they shared the results of their feedback. They highlighted my strengths in teamwork, responsibility, and communication, and even gave me a club T-shirt as a gift. I felt proud because I had improved in these areas. It was a great experience, and
I hope to work in a sports club again in the future.

Social Media Harms Teen Mental Health
In today’s world, social media is a big part of many teenagers’ daily lives. While it has some benefits, such as staying connected with friends, meeting new people, and learning about interesting topics, it also brings serious problems. I strongly believe that social media harms teen mental health, and we must pay more attention to this issue before it becomes even worse.
First, social media often makes teenagers compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way. When teens see pictures of people who seem perfect, they feel that they are not good enough. These feelings can lower self-esteem and lead to sadness, anxiety, or even depression. The problem is that many of these online posts are edited, filtered, or fake, but teens still feel pressure to look or live the same way. They may think that their own life is boring or not successful, which is simply not true.
Second, too much time on social media affects sleep and study habits. Many teenagers use their phones late at night, checking messages or watching videos, which reduces sleep time and quality. Without enough sleep, teens cannot focus well in class, and their grades may suffer. This can increase stress and worry about the future, making them feel overwhelmed.
Finally, online bullying, or cyberbullying, is another serious danger. Unlike face-to-face bullying, it can happen at any time and be shared with many people. Victims of cyberbullying often feel alone, scared, and helpless, and in some cases, it leads to serious mental health problems.
In conclusion, although social media has some good uses, its harm to teen mental health is much greater. Teenagers need support from parents, teachers, and society to use it wisely. Schools should teach students how to use social media in healthy ways, and parents should guide their children to take breaks and spend time offline. By doing this, we can help protect young people’s mental health in this digital age.
